I have an Ellison on my 0-320. I had it rebuilt last year (45 hours ago). The cost was $650. Everything worked great up until a few months ago when it started dripping fuel after shutdown. The engine runs just fine including doing acro, but who wants a drip? If I don't shut off the tank shutoff, it will drip at a rate of 1 drip per 10 seconds. If I turn on the aux pump (like I had to do to check a fitting) it really starts to pour out. There seems to be no info on this that I can find. The Troubleshooting Guide only says that more than a tablespoon sometimes occurs on a new TBI but will disappear after the fuel inlet control valves have seated within the first 10 hours. Any ideas?
